FUNCTION::RANDINT(3stap)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Random functions Tapset corner of the SystemTap Tapset Reference (yes, that's the 3stap manual, iykyk) 🎀 and today's main character is:

function::randint — it returns a random number between [0,n) 💅

no cap, that's the whole vibe. a lil random number generator that lives in your tapset. obsessed.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

randint:long(n:long)

so it takes a long called n, and it hands you back a long. simple. elegant. iconic. ⭐

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• n — the number past the upper limit of the range. and bestie, listen, it is not larger than 2**20. that's the ceiling, that's the line, do not cross it 🙈. think of n as the fence just past the last number you could actually get, since the range is [0,n) and the ) means n itself is not invited to the party 💀.

fr fr, keep n at or under 2**20 or you're gonna have a bad time.
